Pinoy Teen Wins in Global Film Competition

 

A film with no frills, glitz or glamour... but a Winner!
Simple but Powerful
.

MANILA, Philippines - "An 18-year-old Filipino student is one of the three winners in this year's Faith Shorts, a global film competition by the Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

Paulo Reyes' "First Steps to Recovery" won in the Family category of the competition, where budding filmmakers aged 14 to 18 years old were made to express their thoughts on the theme "Let me show you how my faith inspires me."

The short film tells the story of a journalist who was inspired by the strong faith of a boy who is suffering from cancer.

The two other winning films of Faith Shorts 2011 include "Muhammad in Accrington... Inspiring Me" by Amna Islam of the United Kingdom (Action category) and "Be the Change You Want to See" by Nadim Merrikh of Canada (Musical category).

The entries were judged by Tony Blair, Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and Jet Li, Bollywood star Anil Kapoor and former FOX Studios president Sherry Lansing, among others.

"This new generation holds the potential to help turn the tide against rebellious tensions, building unity to counter those who see faith as a source of division and conflict," Blair said, referring to year's contestants.

Meanwhile, Education Secretary Armin Luistro said: "I and my fellow countrymen look forward to watching more of your films in the future."

"Congratulations, Paulo. The Philippines is behind you," he added."

In 2003, Niña was diverted to the Entertainment field, which then led to her co-anchoring the showbiz segment of Magandang Umaga Bayan with Ogie Diaz, Showbiz Number 1 and TV Patrol's Star Patrol.

DISCLAIMER:
Thank you so much for the overwhelming support for my sister Nina.

Nina corrected me last night. She said even before I started the campaign (which she saw in my tweet that referred her to my blogpost), the results were already out, and SPOT.PH has already stopped tallying. So all the votes I solicited were NOT COUNTED.

Nevertheless, I do not mind. It only means that you support my sister and us, her family whether or not your vote was counted --- because the website has not disabled accepting votes and she has reached 9000 plus votes (more than 70% of total voters)- which is overwhelming.

Thank you much! My family and I appreciate all those who responded, and all who voted. God Bless you and have a Merry Merry X'mas!
